Centurion
In 1964 a municipality was formed, combinging the townships Doornkloof, Irene and Lyttleton. It was called Verwoerdburg after Dr Hendrik Frensch Verwoerd, Prime minister of South Africa. It was renamed Centurion in the 1990s in order not to associate so explicitly with one of the architects of apartheid.
Centurion has come a long way from being a sleepy southern suburb of Pretoria, with smallholdings and large open spaces. Having experienced stupendous growth since 1994, like the rest of urban South Africa, many businesses have relocated there, and property development is boosting the ever expanding city limits. This development has meant there is now little break between the outskirts of Pretoria to the north, and Midrand and Johannesburg to the south. The Gauteng Provincial Government envisages that, according to current growth trends, much of the Gauteng province will be city by 2015.
Today Centurion features modern shopping malls (Centurion Mall), several entertainment spots, a theatre, golf courses and a driving range. The Unitas hospital is the largest private hospital on the African continent (including helipad) and is part of the Netcare group. Technology companies like DENEL, Siemens, SAAB Grintek Technologies, Telkom and others are located here.
It is located at the intersection of the N1 and N14 highways. The R21 also passes through Centurion.
